Blu-ray is an optical disc format like CD and DVD. Blu-ray discs can hold more information than other optical media, because of the blue lasers that the disc drives use. A single Blu-ray disc can hold up to 25GB of data.

The data is encoded in pits that form a spiral track on the disc. A blue-violet laser, emitting at a wavelength of 405 nanometres, reads the pits. Because the laser used in a Blu-ray is of a shorter wavelength than that used in DVDs (635 or 650 nanometres), the spiral track can be more tightly wound.

High-definition (HD) video may be stored on Blu-ray Discs with up to 1920 × 1080 pixel resolution, at 24& 50/60 progressive or 50/60 interlaced frames per second. DVD discs were limited to a maximum resolution of 480 (NTSC, 720×480 pixels) or 576 lines (CCIR 625/50, 720×576 pixels, commonly used with PAL).

The Blu-ray format offers as much as 5X the storage capacity of traditional DVDs, it can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc. Because of the enhanced storage capacity, higher resolution video is able to be placed onto Blu-ray discs with resolutions up to 1080p.

The name refers to the blue laser (actually a violet laser) used to read the disc, which allows information to be stored at a greater density than is possible with the longer-wavelength red laser used for DVDs.

Part of a group of storage media collectively. Known as optical discs CDs DVDs and later blu-ray discs are some of the best-known. Examples of these media.

The Blu-Ray has an HD picture commonly referred to as 1080p. This means that there are 1080 horizontal lines that make up the picture in comparison to the traditional 576 lines that are used on a standard-definition DVD. The added resolution allows the images to look sharper and more realistic.
